We know how hard it is to decide from the myriad of drinks out there which to stock in your pub — did you know, for example, that there are more than 300 draught lager and cider brands in the UK on-trade? The average bar only stocks seven.

So, over a snifter or three at The Inapub Inn we decided to find out what are the nation's favourite drinks brands.

As part of our Euro-themed issue it would be tempting to bring you a list of Europe's most innovative and craziest drinks. In the end, however, we thought it would be much more useful if we instead came up with suggestions of European drinks you can make and serve from brands you probably already stock. Never let it be said we haven't got your back.
